Game DetailsMay 15, 2009 Kelowna @ Rimouski
Rockets 4, Oceanic 1
Just What The Doctor Ordered
A wonderful start for the WHL Champion Kelowna Rockets at the 2009 Mastercard Memorial Cup. The big guns were firing, the defense stood tall and Guggs shut the door. The rule of thumb in hockey, is if you don't score on a 5 on 3, you shouldn't win the game, so what does it mean when you don't score off two 5 on 3's? The Rimouski Oceanic found out on Friday night. In front of a very loud and passionate home crowd the Oceanic were completely shut down by the Rockets defensive core, despite some LOW glass. The Rockets offense got goals from Tyler Myeres, Jamie Benn, Ian Duval and Lucas Bloodoff to begin their quest for the Memorial Cup title. Game two of tournament for the Rockets goes Monday night (4:00 pm PST) against the QMJHL Champion Drummondville Voltigeurs.
Former Vernon Vipers forward, Kyle St. Denis didnt record a point tonight but did manage to get two shots on goal. I will be following St. Denis and the Rockets on their Memorial Cup Run as the Rockets are going for their 2nd Memorial Cup Championship.
